Figure 1From: Rituximab therapy in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis improves alveolar macrophage lipid homeostasisGene expression of lipid regulators is increased post-rituximab therapy. Alveolar macrophage gene expression was measured by RT-PCR in PAP patients before and 6 months post rituximab therapy. Increases are shown in: (A) PPARγ; (B) ABCG1; (C) ABCA1; and (D) LPLA2 (n = 6).Back to article page
